Engine Oil for 1.4 TSI

[jc_boc]

Ah... I see you have a Boc with twincharged 1.4. Wait 'till someone with that engine confirms. My manual does not cover that engine - only the 150 PS FR engine.

Ummm is the FR not a twin charged engine too

 

[NetworkMan]

Yup - but less torque and power. AFAIK Cupra/Boc is 180 PS while FR is 140.
Probably oil is the same but I don't know.

All this stuff is in the owner's handbook I'm sure. Mine advises on which VW oil spec. for which service schedule and which engine - it doesn't mention viscosity.

FR is 150, exactly same engine except for the maping

 

[jc_boc]

So should it not therefore use the same oil?

I've neen thinking about topping up with some cheap oil from asda. Castrol 10w40 semi £3 a litre. Its getting changed at service in 2 weeks anyway. lol

I Went to Sheffield seat for a first service and they put the wrong oil in it.
They put 10-40 in it so I rang around dealers and they all telling
Me it's 5-30 so I gave seat Sheffield a call and asked them what oil do you put in a bocanegra they said 5-30 so I said well why u put 10-40 in mine then, they tryin to get out of it saying 10-40 is fine so I contacted head quarters hopefully they sorting it out for me.

5w25 would be better for our kind of climate, at 10w40 is gonna hurt on startup and possibly give worse mpg.

 

[MARKG_BOC]

Just spoke to seat head quarters and they saying they looked into it and 10-40 is fine to use on your car.
So I said everywhere I put my reg number in its coming up as 5-30 so something wrong but they saying con't do oat.

 

[Araf]

Sound like they are fobbing u off mate!!! Get them to make a note of it on thier system so if something does go wrong u can always take it back to them.

 

[MARKG_BOC]

[MARKG_BOC]

Finally got a manager to call me after 3 days trying.
All getting sorted
